"The perpetual fog that clouds his thinking has not lifted an inch; if anything, it is becoming ever more impenetrable."
Metaphor in Context
Most presidents enter office knowing relatively little about foreign policy and learn a lot on the job. Trump knew less than any of his predecessors and has learned less than any of them. The perpetual fog that clouds his thinking has not lifted an inch; if anything, it is becoming ever more impenetrable.
